I always thought I might want to. But my FH has had to get his ex-wife's name covered up recently. I couldn't stand seeing it anymore (it was on his neck, so very visible) It's a big decision. We are thinking about getting a tattoo together, not our names, but something that is meaningful to both of us......

bronzestar, I've seen people do that before, they get a ring tattooed on or initials done repeatedly to look like a band. I think that looks quite cute! I can't help with your other questions though, sorry!

No way but that's cos I wouldn't want a tattoo of anything on me. DH has tattoos but I wouldn't want him to get mine I don't like names on ppl unless the person they have has passed.I dislke big sleeves of kids names is it so you don't forget their name?!

Good tattoo artists are reluctant and dislike doing it because they are the ones that cover up hundreds of other people's tattoos who have done the same thing, and thought the same thing too. Professional tattoo artists want you to take away a piece of art that is very personal, permanent, and that you won't regret one day.

I'd rather just enjoy my marriage. Nothing needs to be written on my skin to do that. In terms of a visual cue, that's what the wedding ring is for.

I wouldn't get a tattoo of Mr Wickies name but I am planning to get a tattoo when we are on our honeymoon of something that represents us and our marriage. At this stage I am thinking of maybe a hibiscus flower with our wedding date in there somewhere. I look at it this way - even if (god forbid) something happens down the track and we arent together, I have spent a great deal of my life with him and I have a lot of happy memories. If something bad does happen I will still try and look at our relationship in a positive light and as a learning experience.
